Dodgy Results?

Alright, so far, the weather's been down.. yeah.
and my experiment requires a bit of sunlight so the water evaporates..
which happens to be an inconvenience as Mother Nature opposes this..
the results have been .. yeah fail..
nothing much has happened so someone .. suggested i use a lamp as the source of light
and redo my experiment..
I might actually give this a try, but i could always leave the thingies out for like a day or two to substitute for the lack of evaporation, instead of only 6 hours.
But i don't get it, it's like only a tablespoon of water and literally, like no bull, nothing has evaporated. sigh.
alright. started on my report thingy and yeah ..
i don't think anyone is diggin' the SRP this week haha.

Hello There, it has been a while!

WELL, I have certainly began my experiment, like every one else has. I have gathered two sets of results so far, but I want to post it all together, so it's easier to compare, and less repetitive. Although my experiment is very simple, it will determine whether or not branded things are better than non-branded.
Yeah, talk to you later .. most likely tmrw after work.
Laters.

ps. I have pictures, but internet is killing me.
Upload later during off peak, preferably Monday..

Hypothesis: Well known brands of Petroleum Jelly will keep the most moisture from evaporating
Aim: To determine whether well known brands of Petroleum Jelly work better than lesser known brands.
Risk Assessment:

Control: clean all spills immediately
Dispose: down the drain
Equipment:
- 5x shot cups

- 5 pieces of 5cm x 5cm cheesecloth
- measuring jug
- 10 rubber bands

Method:
1. Gather all equipment
2. Pour 20mL of water in each shot cup
3. Cover each shot cup with a cheesecloth and put 2 rubber bands around the top
4. Spread a quarter of a teaspoon of one brand of Petroleum Jelly evenly on the top of one cheesecloth.
5. Repeat step 4 with the 3 other brands and leave one cheesecloth plain.
6. Label the shot cups with the brand of Petroleum Jelly.
7. Leave shot cups to sit for 6 hours.
